First of all I was extremely skeptical after reading the previous reviews, especially. with noise problem whether it fits the ps3 slim but given the fact that it dissipates heat very well i bought it. My cell phone ringer at volume 2 out of 8 is louder than the intercooler. Not sure about other PS3 slims, but 5 minutes after initial boot, the back of the PS3 was very hot, like a coffee pot before installing the TS intercooler. . Once the intercooler was installed, the ps3 slim was cool as a caribbean breeze. TO INSTALL THE TS INTERCOOLER ON THE PS3 SLIM JUS PLACE THE GAME CASE BEHIND THE CONSOLE AND HOLD THE INTERCOOLER COVER ON THE BACK OF THE UNIT SO IT CAN BE PLACED ON THE CABLES AND REAR CASE. The intercooler is lightweight so there is no damage to the connectors. Given what it does and how it's performed so far, it's a must have for any PS3 system.
